New FAM - Adrienne Goodson

told y'all i was working on a few things, didn't i?? well, we now have FAM Legends!! that is plural, but for now, we'll start w/ my FAM - "Goody"..

y'all know her.. former WNBA All-Star, multiple Community Assist Award winner, ABL All-Star, All-ABL, HS All-American, NCAA Champion, and more.. yea, that Goody or Goodie.. she has been great for me, and great for FAM.. providing insight from her playing days (also played an integral part in helping move the player/business interests forward w/ the league), she's a ridiculous trainer/coach (look at what she did at ODU), she's great for the community, and holds basketball clinics.. i was initially introduced to Goody through Ketia.. they went to Afghanistan w/ the NBA to support the troops.. so i was able to do my own research.. a year later, our paths cross and we built a synergy, then a relationship, then a partnership, and now FAM for LIFE!!

i know that i am only one man.. i get it.. i can't do it by myself.. i've had my own crash course over the last 3 years, and i swear that it changes every dang year.. something new.. something upsetting.. just something.. i needed more insight.. i needed a better understanding.. Goody came just when i felt like i had seen it all and been through it all.. she actually gave me more hope..

it's been a blessing to learn from her (and our other FAM Legends - names dropping sporadically).. i'm now on my job trying to get her back into the league to help players and teams.. she's already leading our team heading to Brasil for our 1st basketball clinic (part of a 6 year agreement).. shoutout to ESPN down in Brasil for continuing to publicize what we're doing down there (even if it was pushed back to Nov 5).. so, a special shoutout to Goody for allowing me to do what i do.. it's already been a great relationship, and i know it'll be more of that in the future..

now to watch Big Syl bully some poor team in the World Championships!!

i - Q..
